Car-o-lyn let me tell you
-7 -7 -7 7 7 7 6 7
what I heard �bout a man to-day
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6
He did-n’t come home from work
5 -5 6 -5 6
and he went a-way
5 5 -5 6 -6 7 5
Till he came to a cit-y,
5 5 5 -5 5 -5 6
bright in the night-time like day
7 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -7 -7
There they say he met up with some wom-en
-7 -7 -7 7 -6 -6 7 7
dressed in yel-low and scar-let
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6
Their warm lips like a hon-ey-comb,
6 -5 6 6
dripped with hon-ey
5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5
And some-thin’ a-bout the smell
6 7 5 5
of strange per-fume
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -4 5
Made him feel warm, and not a-lone
8 8 8 8 7 8 8 8 8
Yes Car-o-lyn a man will do that
8 8 8 -7 8
Some-times on his own
7 7 -5 6 -6 6
Some-times when he’s lone-ly
7 8 8 8 -7 8 8 8 8
And I be-lieve a man might do that
8 8 8 -7 7
Some-times out of spite
-7 7 7 7 6 7 6 7 7 7 6 -5
But Car-o-lyn, a man will do that al-ways
-3 -4 5 5 5 -5 5
When he’s treat-ed bad at home
8 8 8 8 7 8 8 8 8
Yes Car-o-lyn a man will do that
8 8 8 -7 8
Some-times on his own
7 7 -5 6 -6 6
Some-times when he’s lone-ly
7 8 8 8 -7 8 8 8 8
And I be-lieve a man might do that
8 8 8 -7 7
Some-times out of spite
-7 7 7 7 6 7 6 7 7 7 6 -5
But Car-o-lyn, a man will do that al-ways
-3 -4 5 5 5 -5 5
When he’s treat-ed bad at home
